Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of micro-electromechanical systems, and in particular to a dual-mass sensitive acceleration sensor based on modal localization effect, belonging to the field of sensors. Background Art

[0002] Accelerometers have the advantages of high sensitivity, low power consumption, high detection accuracy, and fast response. Compared with macro-scale devices, using micro-resonators as core detection elements has the advantages of high sensitivity, high resolution, and a large dynamic range.

[0003] There are many types of MEMS accelerometers, among which the most representative is the micromechanical resonant accelerometer. Highly sensitive resonant accelerometers have wide demand and application potential in the fields of automotive safety, consumer electronics, aerospace, intelligent equipment, etc., and continue to play an important role in the development of emerging technologies such as unmanned driving and intelligent manufacturing. The resonant accelerometer completes sensitivity detection based on the frequency shift caused by the change in the axial force of the detection resonator caused by the inertial force of the sensitive mass block. In order to further improve the sensitivity of the sensor to meet the needs of high-precision fields, researchers usually use topology optimization methods to optimize the structure of the accelerometer, and reduce the size of the sensor to improve sensitivity.

[0004] Professor Yang Bo's team from Southeast University designed a biaxial decoupled resonant micro-accelerometer in ("A new silicon biaxial decoupled resonant micro-accelerometer", (Microsystem Technologies, 2014, 21(1): 109-115)). The structure consists of four identical tuning fork resonators, four pairs of decoupling beams, four lever mechanisms and a mass block. The four pairs of decoupling beams are used to decouple the two sensitive directions. The experimental results show that the accelerometer has good performance, with a lateral sensitivity of 52.57Hz / g on the x-axis and 51.64Hz / g on the y-axis. The x-axis bias stability is 0.294mg and the y-axis is 0.278mg. The dynamic range exceeds 10g, proving that the designed biaxial resonant micro-accelerometer has good decoupling performance and stability.

[0005] In 2015, Professor Xie Jin's team at Zhejiang University developed a dual-axis dual-stage lever resonant accelerometer ("Duplex mode tilt measurements based on a MEMS biaxial resonant accelerometer", (Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 2019, 296: 222-234.)), which achieved a high sensitivity (275Hz / g) through a dual-stage lever mechanism and a low cross-sensitivity (less than 3.4%) through a decoupling beam. In addition, the device was also tested for dual-axis tilt angles, and the test results showed that within a 45-degree linear range, it had an angular sensitivity of 4.5Hz / deg, making it an earlier dual-axis resonant inclinometer.

[0006] In summary, for traditional frequency-shift output resonant accelerometers, under the constraints of existing detection principles and processing technology, it is difficult to significantly improve the sensitivity of traditional resonant accelerometers, which has become a key technical problem restricting the application of micromechanical resonant accelerometers. Therefore, it is necessary to find a method to solve these problems from a mechanism perspective. Summary of the invention

The first tuning fork beam and the second tuning fork beam are driven by the first fixed excitation electrode and the second fixed excitation electrode respectively. When the two sensitive mass blocks move under the action of external acceleration, the axial forces of the two resonators are changed respectively through the micro-lever, thereby causing the modal localization effect between the resonators and causing the amplitude to change drastically. The magnitude of the acceleration can be obtained by calculating the amplitude ratio of the two resonators. Compared with the traditional frequency-shift output method, the amplitude ratio output has a better ability to resist interference from the external environment, better robustness and higher sensitivity.

[0075] A dual-mass sensitive acceleration sensor based on modal localization effect provided by the present invention is described below with a specific example.

[0079]

[0080] By applying a coupling voltage V on the second tuning fork beam (5-2) c =50V, when there is no external acceleration disturbance, first select the AC current in the driving voltage source to be V ac =50mV, and then continuously adjust the DC voltage V in the driving voltage source dc Make the system in equilibrium, where V dc =30V, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0081] Figure 3 The amplitude-frequency characteristic curves of the two tuning fork beams in the embodiment of the present invention are shown in FIG. 1 when an external 1g acceleration disturbance is applied. Figure 3 (a) It can be found that the amplitude of the tuning fork beam 4-1 increases with the increase of acceleration, while Figure 3 The amplitude changes of the tuning fork beam 4-2 in the two modes shown in (b) are almost synchronous, because the tuning fork beam 4-1 is excited by alternating current.

The sensitivities are 5.5% / g and 5.1% / g respectively when the relative amplitude ratio is used as the sensitivity output.

[0083] Figure 5 is the sensitivity condition when the relative frequency change is used as the sensitivity output in the embodiment of the present invention, wherein Figure 5 (a) is the relative frequency sensitivity output under the out-of-phase mode, Figure 5 (b) is the relative frequency shift sensitivity output in the in-phase mode, obtained by simulation in the 0-1g range and compared with Figure 4 The results were compared and it was found that the sensitivity output using relative amplitude ratio can be increased by 611 times compared with the relative frequency change, which greatly improves the sensitivity output.
